May I suggest another? Bon Cop/Bad Cop. Ignore the Whodunit aspect - it's cliche Canadian. It's the French vs English thing that is hilarious. That, and the cop making his way out of a burning building full of pot by crawling around inside an upside down bathtub. Oh, and the dead body being split on a sign because the two cops are holding onto either end of it. Thanks for mentioning 5 great Canadian movies. May I suggest another?

I was sitting in the barbers getting my hair cut, and I thought of what you said and I couldn't control my laughter. I looked like an idiot. I blame you, and because of that you will soon be receiving a basket of Yakov comedy tapes. Hehe, Mortensen’s Balls of Fury…I hope you realized the damage that caused me throughout the day.

I didn't realize these movies were as "limited" as they really are. In my experience, "limited" usually means the indie screen in your big city will be playing it, but that's not the case with any of the movies I mentioned--be it for Houston (where I live) or Portland. Does it bug anyone else that the hype machine for Into the Wild has been churning at full force for the past week, and it turns out it is only playing in about 4 theaters nationwide? And that you can't even find that out by going to the official website? Do they expect people to tolerate that? And to still be excited about it when it fully releases in another month? I feel abused. Oops, sorry Eric. I didn’t realize these movies were as “limited” as they really are.

The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford? The Last Winter? Or do you only do wide releases? Into the Wild? The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford?

Or do you only do wide releases?
